Thought I'd better speak with the insurance company
To decide if im going 1.6 16v or not
After a long wait on hold the price was announced ......
£0 increase
Happy days
Right now all I have to do is get the donor vitara running.

Result!
It was similar when I fitted the 1.5 16V in mine, it only increased by abut £30 a year. Plus it was cheap in the first place.
One of the VERY FEW benefits of being over....... er 25, (by quite a bit).

Mine was the same. Phoned up expecting to pay a few extra quid but got told it made no difference.

My insurance told me they wouldn't insure me if I change the engine to anything other than the f10a
Guess I'll be changing my insurance company next year...

My insurance conpany will only insure modifed cars so they dont charge extra for mods
And its cheaper for me to insure my czt 1.5mivec turbo modifed 200bhp insurance groupe 16 hatch back
Than it is for me on a citroen c1 insurance group 1

That's called being young!! I can't have named drivers on my Sj unless they are over 25.
